***Big 12 Championships (Sat./Sun.)***

Mizz understands the assignment…score points period

Yep.... they are going to win this thing going away. OSU looks to be off to a good start, but Mizzou is too good.

That Schwartz Smith match is insanity. 9-8 Smith after 1

 

[BCClone]

So your saying when Carr wins his first match today he also gets advancement points for his bye?

Yes.

 

[CyCloneRastlinG]

Casey’s draw is brutal. (Captain obvious here but) he needed that W. Gets either Happel or Hart. Likely not beating either as he’s got a significant disadvantage on the mat.

It sucks. That was the winnable match. Now we go from massive hype train to 0-2 at Big12s and not making nationals. Ugh

But you don't get the opportunity for bonus points

That's where my head went right away, Fix got a pin this session and Carr didn't get that opportunity, is there really no better way to do it?

No more “random” draws

Not really, only way is to have 16 teams.

Paniro will face Moore in the quarters.

Moore is scary. He is a pinner

You can see the talent. Hope he can get right in the head before the next season he wrestles.

Moore is scary. He is a pinner

True, but Paniro rarely puts himself in that position. Is likely a 4-3 match either way

 

[theshadow]

Broderson/Mocco in the hole on Mat 2.

 

[JM4CY]

No more “random” draws

They aren’t random. It’s one thing if it’s just a weird year but this is like the 4th year in a row where we’ve gotten hosed. It’s not “random” at that point.

I know I was being sarcastic. Wrestling has a lot of things from who seeds and drawing that it needs to fix. Feels like the only sport where you don’t get rewarded with a bye if you’re the 1 or 2 seed. The point of the regular season is to win so you have an easier way to a championship

Does Air Force have anyone worth a crap other than HWT?

Over 4 years, that is roughly 100-200 byes or so? That is actually an extremely small sample size. Need a much, much larger sample size to see the randomness smooth out.

I know you were Im still just little salty about it.

No bonus points for the first round. Not perfect but some of these first round matches are not even close to being competitive.

Well then next year I can’t wait to see us get all pigtails.

Try over the course of the next 20 years the numbers should even out

I might be dead in 20 years! I don’t have that kind of time!!
